It's not just that I like to crochet, I just can't stop doing it! I've written one book and contributed to a couple of others. If there are any publishers out there looking for an author for a brand new crochet book, look no further...

I am happy to take on commissions – click the link at the top of the main page to email me.
I work in a wide range of media, including papier maché, crochet and knitting, embroidery and collage. This is just a small selection of work...

It's my daughter Lillie's birthday today... we had lunch together, both daughters and me, at the Buenos Aires Café in nearby Blackheath Village. Lillie looked so beautiful and chic in black 'bullfighter' trousers, secondhand black jacket and little brown suede boots and she tucked in very heartily – we both did – to Morcilla, an Argentine steak, rare, vegetables, chips and a robust Malbec. We followed it up with a Pimms in The Pelton. Happy Birthday, Lillie!

Roll up, roll up for the Vintage and Secondhand Fair at The Pelton Arms, Greenwich, on Sunday 18th September from 1.30 until 5pm.

It will have many of the same elements as last year's late summer fair and jumble sale, but this time we are concentrating on the "vintage", with stalls selling secondhand and vintage clothes and accessories, vintage china, kitchenware and collectables.

The Pelton Arms does a lovely Sunday lunch – you are advised to book a table in advance – and, of course, a brilliant selection of beers, lagers, wines and so on.

If anyone is interested in having a stall, please get in touch as soon as possible: you can email me, or contact me on Facebook. Otherwise, just come along on Sunday 18th September, from 1.30-5pm and join in the fun!
